Post by: Gazoo on April 30, 2010, 10:13:41 AM: HM to "Animal." The Hysteria album took a while to take off and had an interesting trajectory for its singles: first single "Woman" made the Hot 100 but missed the Top 40; then "Animal" went Top 40 but missed the Top 10; then the title track hit #10, then the fourth single, "Love Bites," finally went to #1, and the fifth single, "Pour Some Sugar on Me," was the best-known of them all.

Post by: RGMike on April 30, 2010, 10:16:20 AM: hot tramp! daddy's li'l cutie! If you'd told me the year before that a 2nd, different "Rag Doll" would hit the charts 20-something years after the 4 Seasons... and that it'd be a hard rocker... I'd've never believed it.

BOS2 New Order -- AL loves her some N.O.

Michael Jackson talked to me...

Post by: Gazoo on April 30, 2010, 10:20:50 AM: BOS "True Faith," the song that won me over to New Order. I remember watching the video one Sunday morning just before leaving for bowling (I was in a duckpin league at the time).

Post by: Gazoo on April 30, 2010, 10:30:09 AM: Flying in the face of fashion, sounding a bit like Squeeze's contemporaneous "Hourglass" in a way. Set's gotten tedious.

Me too! (Minus the bowling part.) I first heard it one night from the AAA station in Burlington, VT when I was pulling an all-niter @ college. I had heard Bizarre Love Triangle a few times beore & liked it, but True Faith is what really won me over to them.

Post by: Tinka Cat on April 30, 2010, 10:36:19 AM: did this set pass boring a long time ago, too? (I missed the stuff b/w Def Leppard and U2)

Post by: RGMike on April 30, 2010, 10:36:24 AM: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! all the great suggestions on the FB page and we get the '87 uber-katrina from CH. Damn, what *IS* it about this year?
Title: Re: 30 April 2010: it's 1987
Post by: RGMike on April 30, 2010, 10:41:01 AM: another Triple-A snoozer: Chris Isaak. Granted, in '87 his sound was still fresh, but now?

Sorry to say this is one of AL's worst efforts in a while.

Post by: radical347 on April 30, 2010, 10:43:22 AM: BOS2 to Roger Waters.

But yeah...this was like a a carbon copy of Dave 87 set. She's done better for this year.
